Magnolia Montessori For All is a thoughtfully designed educational campus in Austin, Texas, organized as a village of fifteen residential-scaled buildings nestled among landscaped courtyards and natural surroundings. Through its spatial organization, the 40,000-square-foot campus emphasizes independence, flexibility, and child-centered learning, reflecting the core values of Montessori education. Each age group has its own cluster of buildings arranged around dedicated outdoor courtyards that evolve in openness and complexity as children grow older.
Specialized learning environments for infants and toddlers open onto a tree-filled play area. Older students enjoy dynamic courtyard spaces, including a zen maze, a life-sized checkerboard, and a community garden with integrated rainwater collection. This award-winning project, recognized nationally and locally for its design excellence and community impact, offers a nurturing environment that harmonizes architecture, education, and nature.
